Blog Release: Postindustrial Urbanization and Globalization Institute

Youngstown State University unveiled the Postindustrial Urbanization and Globalization Institute (PUGI), the result of generous funding to be administered by the Council on Competitiveness. PUGI's mission is to build the new city of globalization from the established infrastructure of America's Industrial Heartland. The project seeks to "recycle urban resources for a global innovation economy." Youngstown will serve as the living laboratory for the first 5-years of research from which the next generation of US urban policy will spring.
